Wreck on Heart of America Bridge (with photo)

An accident on the Heart of America Bridge in Kansas City this morning is still causing issues. While the wreck happened in the southbound lanes northbound traffic was still effected by emergency vehicles.
Though a van ended up straddling the barriers there didn't appear to be any injuries.

Aerial Photos: Pictures from the Window Seat

After my post earlier this evening of Peter Shankman's column regarding Air Traffic Control and business (here) I thought it was time for a photography post. Inspired by thoughts of air travel here is a selection of photographs I've taken from the air.
